SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables deep web research and content extraction against x402-protected endpoints, helping users gather sources and extract clean text from blocked or hard-to-reach sites.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Neural search: Perform semantic queries to locate relevant pages and sources.
  • Content extraction: Retrieve clean text from web pages for notes or summaries.
  • Find related content: Discover pages similar to a reference URL or source.
  • Direct answers: Obtain concise answers from multiple sources through fenced endpoints.

Quick Start

Use the web-research skill to search for sources on a topic and extract clean text from the top results.

Frequently Asked Questions about web-research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract clean text from web pages that are blocked or hard to reach?▼

Content extraction from blocked sites is handled by passing target URLs through x402.fetch to retrieve clean text from x402-protected endpoints. The skill enforces correct usage by requiring exact endpoint URLs before making calls.

Can I perform neural search to find relevant pages across protected sources?▼

Neural search for semantic queries is supported to locate relevant pages across protected sources. You must pass queries and options through x402.fetch, using exact endpoint URLs from the Quick Reference or discovered via x402.discover_api_endpoints.

What's the best way to find pages similar to a reference URL?▼

Finding similar pages to a reference URL is a core feature of this web research skill. You provide the reference URL to the appropriate endpoint to discover related content and pages from x402-protected sources.

How do I get direct answers from multiple protected web sources?▼

Direct answers from multiple sources are obtained by querying fenced endpoints through x402.fetch. The skill requires exact endpoint URLs from the Quick Reference or prior discovery via x402.discover_api_endpoints before calls are made.

Do I need to discover API endpoints before extracting content from web pages?▼

Yes, endpoint discovery is required unless you have exact URLs from the Quick Reference. The skill enforces correct API usage by requiring exact endpoint URLs or prior discovery via x402.discover_api_endpoints before making extraction calls.

Why does my web research query require passing options through x402.fetch?▼

Passing queries, URLs, and options through x402.fetch enforces correct API usage against x402-protected endpoints. This ensures proper access to neural search, content extraction, and direct answer features across protected sources.
